xubuntu554hello. i have been reading about my problem with screen tearing in firefox, flash and vlc, and have come up with multiple solutions, which are: sync to vblank (as per webupd8 instructions here: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/xfce-sync-to-vblank-support-for-xfwm.html) a ppa to xfwm 4.11 as here (http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/xfwm4-4110-released-with-sync-to-vblank.html) and ppa for compton (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t05:31
xubuntu554which one of these is the most viable solution?05:31
Unit193xubuntu554: Xfwm4 is something that comes with Xubuntu, while compton is something that doesn't but supports other compositing effects.05:33
xubuntu554yep, i know, that's why i'm asking, i'm not sure what people's experience with compton is05:34
Unit193I don't need the special effects really, so I don't use it.  It's really up to you though.05:35

xubuntu520hi06:28
xubuntu520i have problems with ubuntu software center06:29
xubuntu520it opens but it dissapears after 3 seconds06:30
xubuntu520help06:31
perois there any reason at all to even have software center? if not, is it possible and harmless to remove?06:34
elfyentirely possible to remove it and it's harmless - I use synaptic - but that's a different  question :)06:37
peroelfy: are you sure? apt-get remove software-center also requires uninstalling xfce-desktop06:51
elfyyep - it will, but that's just a meta-package - removing ANY of the default packages referred to by xubuntu-desktop will do that06:52
elfybecause at that point you don't have 'xubuntu-desktop' basically :)06:52
perobut...that's not 'harmless' anymore is it06:53
perowouldnt there be sideeffects to doing that?06:53
elfythere used to be I think when upgrading to next version, but afaik it's a non-issue now06:54
peroi've earlier deleted some default, yet non-integral packages - xchat, transmission, games - and they didnt ask me to remove the desktop package06:55
perojust poof'd gmusicbrowser too06:56
elfyok06:56
elfybut - my point remains - removing xubuntu-desktop along with a package you are removing is not an issue06:56
perok06:57
perothx06:57
elfyhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/126390/is-it-safe-to-remove-ubuntu-desktop-package06:57
elfyfor ubuntu read xubuntu/lubuntu/kubuntu06:57
perowell, nothing blew up07:02
elfy;)07:03
Unit193I've been 'missing' that package for a long time.  It's simply a meta, just depends on others.07:07
elfyyep - it's been installed on my systems for only as long as it takes to start synaptic since a long time07:08

loz1hi, mouse scroll does not work in evince and works in all other programs, is there any fix for it?09:28
=== ochosi_ is now known as ochosi
ochosiloz1: there is a bug with gtk3 and scrolling in xubuntu 13.10, i can't remember the solution to that though now :/09:42
loz1ochosi: i found GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1, how can i set this var system-wide?09:49
ochositry "export GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1"09:49
loz1i mean exporting in my .zshrc does not help when other apps (browsers, etc) run evince09:50
ochosiif it works then, create a session startup item that executes that line09:50
ochosinot sure about that tbh09:50
ochosiyou can possibly integrate that var in session loading somehoow09:51
ochosibut as i've never done this myself, i'd also have to google it ;)09:51
loz1ochosi: hm, did you fixed that bug in your system?09:51
ochosinope, somehow i don't have that bug09:52
ochosii've only heard about it09:52
Unit193ochosi: Overlay scrollbars?10:08
ochosiUnit193: is it only connected to overlay-scrollbars? i couldn't remember...10:09
ochosiloz1: ^10:09
ochosiloz1: so in case you're using the overlay-scrollbars, probably stop using them ;)10:09
loz1what10:21
loz1how?)10:21

ke1v3yHello16:04
ke1v3yI had a question I was hoping that someone could provide some insight into.16:05
NyankiyoshiYes ? ^^16:07
Nyankiyoshi!ask16:07
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience16:07
ke1v3yI apologize; first time on IRC for Xubuntu :)16:07
ke1v3ySo I'm running 12.04 and experiencing vertical lines on many icons across all programs. I'm guessing it is related to my graphics card, but I was hoping to find some resolution.16:08
ke1v3yThe PC is an old Compaq Presario 6010US, with an equally old AMD AGP graphics card.16:14
